The wait begins

Well some time after breakfast I went and found Mike, our service writer, to see if he had any update on the warranty approval, Not yet he said. So we cleaned the inside of the coach and I put snaps on the tire cover bag Suzette made before we left SNF.

I also called Elkhart Sales and Service to discuss what we wanted to do for the couch removal and fix my Darlington Stripe. ESS will be at the Maintenance Session, MS, that we will be attending at the end of the month. They will give an estimate after they take a look at what we want done.

I also changed some spring door catches to a roller catch which is less likely to cause bruises or tear skin.

For dinner we met Chuck, Juanita, and Sandy, friends from The Villages. We had a good dinner and visit. As we were leaving we could see a fast approaching so we each went our own way. They will visit us at our coach before we leave.

Oh, Mike did stop by and tell us that the warranty work had been approved and that the new jack would be ordered. He thinks it will take 5 to 7 days for the part to arrive. So we will met some other friends we have in the area and likely kayak in Crystal River.

Linda Rod are also coming to Alliance Coach to have work done on their coach so it looks like we will see them before we leave.

A day in WIldwood FL

We went to the office at Alliance and met with the service writer and tech that would be working on our coach. The coach was taken in by 7:30 and the service was started while we went over what we wanted looked into.

In the waiting room Suzette worked on a jig saw puzzle and we also met a full time RV couple and discussed pickleball and several other topics.

By noon the service was complete but they had not received authorization for the warranty work so the coach was driven back to the camp site.

Suzette and I went of to do a little shopping at Russell Stover.

Off to visit friends for dinner at their house in The Villages. Great food and visit and we wish Jan the best with her upcoming surgery.

Tomorrow we will see if the work has been approved for warranty coverage.

Preliminary travel plans 2015

From Wildwood FL we will head to Goshen IN for the Holiday Rambler Maintenance Session. Stops along the way will be an overnight near Quincy FL then on to Summerdale AL at an Escapee's park for a couple of nights. Next will be the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum in Birmingham AL. Our next stop will be Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. Next will be Auburn Indiana to revisit the ACD museum and others we missed in that area.

Then it's the MS in Goshen IN.

From here it is a little grey but in general we will go to St Louis to visit the arch and friends and then follow the Lewis and Clark trail with stops at Glacier National Park, Portland OR and then winter at Voyager RV Park.

Lots to see and do this summer.

And a Blogging we will go

Ok, this blog has been dormant for some time and I need to fix that.

Now that we are back on the road I will try and keep this more current.
We left Sun-N-Fun today and traveled about 125 miles to Alliance Coach in Wildwood FL. for annual service and a couple of warranty items and a couple of things that may not be covered under warranty.

Once we arrived and were checked in I called one of my first IBM managers and we were able to get together for a visit. He and his wife are getting ready to return to the Thousand Islands of NY and are busy packing their Florida house so they can leave. We had a good but all to short visit.

We had dinner at Cody's Original Roadhouse in the Brownwood section of the Villages. Great food.
